SUMMARY:Fantastic Fungi: Movers & Shapers of Forest Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:🍄 Ever wonder the role of Fungi our ecosystem? Find out from Glen Stanosz former Professor of Tree and Forest Health at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Fungi are often overlooked\, misunderstood\, and underappreciated. Yet these diverse and highly evolved organisms are critical to function of forest ecosystems. Their varied lifestyles are suited to roles as symbiotic mutualists\, nature’s recyclers\, or disease-causing tree pathogens. Fungi profoundly influence the initiation\, development\, composition\, stability\, and change of forests. \nThis indoor lecture-style program is open to all ages. \nLearn more about Glen Stanosz here. \nOpen to the public and free thanks to the generosity of donors like you!
